Many buyers entering into the purchase of Sectional Title are under the incorrect impression that their newly acquired apartment space is theirs to do with exactly as they please. This can be a dangerous assumption as the Sectional Title Act makes provision for improvements which negatively impact on other owners in the scheme, to be halted or approved by resolution from the body corporate.

Many Sectional Title schemes have rules in place governing improvements and the access of contractors to the common property.

It is estimated that around one thousand houses and properties are on show every weekend in Cape Town. This method of marketing has proven to be the most effective. You may have concerns about putting your home on show, so we have outlined some reasons why they are in your best interest.

Most local residents are aware of the Sunday show times from 14:00 – 17:00, and it is not unusual that potential buyers and sellers spend their Sunday afternoons driving around, viewing show-houses and assessing the market trends.

AN APARTMENT on Clifton's Moses Beach has sold for R48 million, the highest price recorded for an apartment sale in the city and possibly the largest residential property sale ever in Cape Town.

The 720m2 duplex is located on the bottom two floors of Eventide, the most recently constructed apartment building in the Atlantic Seaboard suburb. It was sold by Dogon Group Properties (DG).

This time last year, DG sold a four-storey, 1 248.39m2 Clifton villa for R42m, which at the time was the highest price recorded for a house sale on the Atlantic Seaboard.

The explosive growth in internet usage worldwide and the huge popularity of the free video sharing website YouTube inspired the Dogon Group to launch a pilot project in Noordhoek a year ago to test the value of “real movie” technology, the latest trend in global property marketing.  The pilot proved such a success in providing a real taste of each property to buyers, including those based overseas, that the concept is now being implemented in all Dogon’s offices on the Atlantic Seaboard.

These Cape Town flats separate the men from the playboys.

They are so expensive that some owners won't let anybody in. And so rare, they can be found nowhere else but on a stretch of road that's only a few hundred metres long – on the lower side of the road that is, not the upper.

If there were any for sale right now, you could pay up to R50 million for one, and live with the fact that only a few kilometres away, something very similar would cost you only R7 million. 

Dogon Group sponsored the TEARS Pet Day held at the Noordhoek Farm Village on Saturday, 10 November 2007. This was a fun filled day for pets and owners alike.

The “trot-a-thon” was followed by fun competitions including “cutest puppy” and “doggie tug of war”.   The Jungle Theatre production of “It’s a dogs life” was enjoyed by all.
